Confirmed Trade: [COL/BOS] Charlie Coyle, 2026 5th round pick for Casey Mittelstadt, Will Zellers, 2025 2nd round pick

[AslanRH]

clearly dumping Mitts salary/contract was key in this
[he says assuming retention on Coyle ]

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

The Avs need to re-read the Art of the Deal

 

[BergyWho37]

Wait ..

For our Charlie Coyle ? Wow

 

[tucker3434]

Ummm. I don't get it. Mitts has not been good recently, but... this is it? Kinda wanted to see what he could do for the rest of the year without any of the 2C pressure.

Great trade for Colorado, they have a lot of offense and need unsung hero grit type of guys. The opposite of Oilers trading for offensive D man.

 

[lowol]

Absolutely horrid trade by Colorado. You cannot convince me that Mitts is THAT bad. Avs PAID to get Mittelstadt off the team. Malpractice levels of asset management here.

He has been that bad recently. Complete non-factor. His all-zeros statlines have been a running gag in the Avs forum.

This is still horrible value, especially if you date it back to the Byram trade. I think there may have been a locker room / attitude issue for the Avs to go for that.

I still don't understand how suddenly the guy turned into a rotten pumpkin after starting off strong at the end of last year and the beginning of the season.

Coyle is soft as Charmin.

May be the most incorrect thing typed on this site in a week.

Absolutely embarrassing statement.

problem is current Coyle is a disappear kind of guy not a grit guy

It’s so hard as a fan who doesn’t know the player they acquire well lol. Can never parse the crap from the truth. I still don’t know what to believe, there’s more fake news is these threads than on tv lol…

 

[Unspecified]

Mackinnon
Nelson
Coyle

HEAVY

Robertson
Hintz
Rantanen

Heavier

 

[benfranklin]

Mitts 16 pts in first 16 games then 18 pts in the next 45. This one hurts.

Avs could easily win the Cup this season with the moves they made or lose first round.

Obviously center depth is over your head.

DAL is easily the favorite in the West now IMO.

 

[Grigowski]

Wow, this will be one, if not the worst trade today.....

Whatever CMac was thinking...But holy shit...Thats not a good deal for the Avs, imho

 

[bossram]

The Avs are loaded for this playoff run. Big, heavy, and deep up front now. Have the stars we know can perform.

Man, the Central and Atlantic divs are absolute gauntlets. Teams should be trying to get in the other sides of the brackets.

Fine

Johnston
Hintz
Duchene

Still heavier.

It will be fun to watch Dallas/Colorado for sure...being a Stars fan and living in Colorado is a little nuts at times.

 

[37Bergenov14]

I liked coyle a lot more than, well, just about everyone it seems, and really not a fan of middlestadt. But hard to argue with the return from the Boston perspective.

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

Mitts 16 pts in first 16 games then 18 pts in the next 45. This one hurts.

Avs could easily win the Cup this season with the moves they made or lose first round.

so his bottoming out was still a higher scoring rate than Coyle

cant wait to watch Dallas offload that anchor of a contract in 3 years

 

[The Nuge]

I can’t imagine taking Coyle over Mittelstadt, let alone paying a second for the privilege

 

[landy92mack29]

So it's basically Bowen Byram, a 2nd and a 3rd(Zellers) for 100ish games of a washed Charlie Coyle? Wonderful move again by this awful Avs front office

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Avs going for it. But really solid return for Boston.

 

[OilersFanatics505]

Coyle is soft as Charmin.

You can admit you don't know much about Coyle. It's OK to not have a good pulse on every player.

Cap is going up and by the 3rd year that contract is not going to be a boat anchor but valid contribution.

 

[JoeSakic13]

I know that Mitts’ deal had poor value, but yikes.

To give up the 2nd rounder in this is wild. I’m hoping (like many Avs fans) there’s more coming back from Boston, but it looks like that’s it.

Coyle has been a solid warrior for BOS over the years. Honeslty, the B's looked their best in that '23 playoff push when Krejci and Bergeron were injured and Coyle Zacha were 1C ands 2C. I still feel like BOS could have beaten FLA if Monty didn't slot Krejci and Bergy back too early. Alas.

Sadly, Coyle has struggled to make any sort of impact this year. He has slowed down and just hasn't had an luck. Is he injured? I truly hope he finds the fountain of youth. I'll be rooting for COL with him on the squad.
